Why are the hottest and coldest places on earth over land, not over water?

Physics
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago
4 0
Because the heat capacity of water is very high, meaning that it can absorb a big amount of energy (heat) while its temperature increases less than what it does in other bodies that have lower heat capacities.

In terms of equations:

Q α Cp * ΔT => ΔT is inversely related to Cp => if Cp is higher ΔT is lower.

In avarage,How many times do a child breathe in a
ollegr [7]
On an approximate scale, A child breaths 20 times a minute as compared to only 12 to 16 in resting phase of an Adult.

So, In 60 minutes (1 hour), They breathe = 20 * 60 = 1200
In 24 hours (1 day), They breathe = 1200 * 24 = 28,800

In short, Your Answer would be: 28,800

Hope this helps!

As a quality test of ball bearings, you drop bearings (small metal balls), with zero initial velocity, from a height of 1.94 m i
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the bearings is 0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 1.94  m

Bounced height = 1.48 m

Time interval t=14.86\times10^{-3}\ s

Velocity of the ball bearing just before hitting the steel plate

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

9.8\times1.94=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2

v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.94}

v=6.166\ m/s

Negative as it is directed downwards

After bounce back,

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2'

Put the value into the formula

9.8\times1.48=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2'

v'=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.48}

v'=5.38\ m/s

We need to calculate the average acceleration of the bearings while they are in contact with the plate

Using formula of acceleration

a=\dfrac{v-v'}{t}

Put the value into the formula

a=\dfrac{5.38-(-6.166)}{14.86\times10^{-3}}

a=776.98\ m/s^2

a=0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2

Hence,The average acceleration of the bearings is 0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2

Mechanical (sound) waves to Earth from satellites. How is this possible? aves are unable to travel through a vacuum, such as thr
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Sound waves are not able to travel in a vacuum, sound requires a medium such as air or a solid for example.  Satellites are indeed in space, but radio waves are not sound waves they are a form of light.  Light can travel in a vacuum so the messages that satellites beam back to Earth are light waves not sound waves, that is why it is possible.

Crank

Answer:

The photoelectric effect occurs only for frequencies above the cutoff frequency, regardless of the intensity.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect occurs when light is shined on metals such as zinc beyond a certain frequency (the threshold frequency), which causes electrons to escape from the zinc. The electrons which are fleeing are called photo electrons.

Therefore photo electric effect is

The photoelectric effect occurs only for frequencies above the cutoff frequency, regardless of the intensity.
